Napoleon Hill’s Golden Rules Book Summary Notes:

  • We create our lives through our thoughts.
  • Find qualities you aspire to have and then find the people who possess them, you can study them and learn to emulate them and the qualities you wish to possess. What is it about the person that allowed them to gain what you want?
  • Use the law of retaliation in your life. What ever you give out to other people or how you treat them will inevitably return to you.
  • Self confidence can be improved with positive affirmations. Self confidence is also important to your success in life. You also need to realise that both your life and happiness are entirely in your own hands.
  • If you can stop blaming others for any issues that may be present in your life, you can start to realise that you are the only person that can change your own circumstances.
  • Embrace the power of proximity, make it a goal to be around people who either have the skills you wish to attain or are in places in their lives you want to get to.
